It's just confusing. I told him it was the build code though.

Haaaaa!!

I had my wife look at the plate too - she's usually pretty good when it comes to ciphering them out. Then we both agreed that it probably means nothing and that it was meant for people to ponder.....

DING!! One point for us!!!!

Good one Nick!! :2tu:

Will you be around GR next driving season? I'd like to meet up and am going to check out the gatherings you mentioned at the Sonic......

Again, glad to hear you made it safe!

Glad you made it back off the mountain and to your destination safely. That is the beauty and frustration of living in the mountains. You just NEVER know what you are going to get stuck with.

Nothing like leaving Denver in mid-Summer at 90 degF out and packing a blanket, winter coat, energy bar, gloves, snow hat and a flashlight for a drive way into the mountains because of freak weather.

Regardless of the weather reports, if you are driving a sports car across Colorado in the winter, you are much better to drive a bit out of your way and avoid the potential.

Now you have to clean your car for a week. If you hit snow, chances are your car's undercarriage is all mag-chlorided up. You will want to get that S&*T off as soon as you can. It is worse than salt.

I washed the car today. Will get it again this week to ensure that any mag-chloride is removed.

So how did the HID install go ? I'm still waiting to install mine because it's too fricken cold in my garage.My relatives live in Poway , bet it's nice and warm right now there.

Make sure to get to the undercarriage as that is where it is most important to remove that crap. Like I said, if left alone, it is worse that salt. Again, glad you made it safe. Happy New Year to yah!

HID install went very easily, probably 5 min more than just replacing the bulbs.

It's about 60 here today.

I watched this before doing the HID install:

Yeah, looking for a place in San Diego that does under carriage spray. But I hit it with a power washer on the underside for now. If anyone knows of a place in SD with one, if you could let me know, it would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help with everything.

I use to have one of my engineering locations in Carlsbad before I sold my company a few years ago. New company shut it down. You will love San Diego. I am envious.

Thanks

That's cool you used to be here. I've been coming to San Diego for the past ten years, so I have some friends here and know the area quite well (had lunch at La Hina's in PB today). I'm really excited about the move.

While fueling up in PB a red genIII drove by and gave me a rev.

Oh, and my neighbor had a navy blue Murci.

Thanks for the video clip . My car is super clean but those wing screws for the wheel well cover are a b....ch to remove why I haven't done the work yet. I probably have to soak the threads with penetrating oil first to avoid braking them.

white out · Jan 3, 2011

I just used pliers to twist the wing screws off and they came out with zero issues. I couldn't move them with my hand.
